Answer 1

Can anybody please help?

Answer 2

for the first equation x =.y-.........( just sample, not the answer from yours)
for the second one, isolate x =.y+.......(just sample, not the answer from yours)
let 2 RHSs of those equal. I mean y -...= y +....solve for y . that y is the solution of your problem
